A psict,ed Battle in Ohio.
icy telegraph to the Dispatch.

CLEVELAND, O., July ia special
from Youngstown, o., says: A regular
pitched battle between about fifty Pits
bureh and Western railroad employees,
mostly Italians, on one side, and the
city police force with twenty-five spe-
cials, sixty engineer and street com-
missioners' force, every member of the
City Council, and the fire department,
under the leadership of Marshal Will
Hams, on the other, took place this af-
ternOOn.
Contractor Kelly, OF the Pittsburgh
and Western, had "a construction tram
across Mill street making the roadbed
about three feet above its grade, when
the city forces, at given signal blown
on a fire whistle, put in their appear
apce. and two well-directed streams
from tbree-inch nozzles soon drowned
the railroaders out. They deserted
their locomotive and cars, aud the po-
lice mounted the locomotive. The rail
readers rallied and climbed upon 1t and
a battle took place. Revolvers were
drawn and the police used clubs, and
both parties fought until they
all tumbled ont of the en-
CINE cab. BY this time 1000 peo-
pie had congrcgatedand hand-to-hand
fight occurred. The police again mount
ed the locomotive and pulled the train
out of reach. Several arrests have
been made, among them that of Con
tractor Kelly, who is in the lookup.
The city forces are now shoyelllnS
away distractions.

And the first shouter fell in the street,
Knocked down with brick propelled
by the second shouter. The noon sun
was blazing, and the Orange procession
in yellow sashes was passing through
Dublin" part of Paterson. The
parade was under the direction of
Hearts OF Oak Lodge, No. 9, Loyal
Orange Legion. 1t had marched to
the Erie depot, and had received dele
cations from Newark, Jersey City,
ard Elizabeth. The police antici-
pated troIble, as there usually is
on the 18th of July. So, in add
ton to the big vanguard OF
white-helmeted cops in the lead and
rear guard, all the rest of the day force
marched along on the sidewalk, parallel
with the paraders and in citizens dress,
ready for any sort OF an emergency.
There were two or three hundred men
in the procession. All along the line
the streets were densely crowded, but
beyond few derisive boots and yells
there had been no particular disturb
ance until the procession reached the
corner of Grand and Main streets,
where the brick was thrown. Here
crowd of several hundred had assem-
bled. The police in civilians dress
hurried ahead and mixed with this
crowd.
James Farron, of u Marshall street,
was the man who took up the gauntlet
and shed the brick at King Williams
enthusiastic adherent. The brick
struck the Crangeman in the mouth,
and with such effect that his lips imme-
diately swelled up, and it will be some
days before he can again get them close
enough together to pronounce the last
letter of King Williams name. The
Aying brick was a signal. In an
instant the air was filled with
missiles. The crowd rushed from the
sidewalk to the ranks, and there
number of hand-to- hand encoun-
tiers followed. Fists, however, were
used instead of cobblestones. The wo-
men took part. One muscular female
put an OraDgman's eye in mourning
and sent the blood streaming from ais
nose. Another battle of the Boyne
would have gone down to history had
not the police sprung into the midst of
the crowd and separated the forces. As
il was, it was all over in less time than
it takes to tell it.
Policeman Charley Magee, the tallest
man on the force, the crown OF whose
head is six feet six inches from the
sole of mis- No. II shoe, saw Farron
SHE the brick, grabbed him by the
back of his neck, and lodged him in
the county Jail, only few steps OF.
When he was searched a loaded re-
volver was found in his pocket. The
sight of theepergetic policemen nipped
the not in the bud, and in five minutes
the procession moved on. Many In
the ranks, however, showed the marks
of the scrimmage on their faces. They
marched to Riverside Park, where
picnic was held.
Everything passedoff pleasantly and
quietly at the picnic, and the local
lodges escorted the visitors back to the
Erie depot without molestation. But

Barrett's Illness.
lBy telegraph to the Dispatch.

New YORK, July 13.-The carriage
containing Sharp, Warden Heating, of
the Ludlow-Street jail, Depdty-Sheriff
Curran. Mr.. Selms, and Mr.. Sharp's
coachman turned into Chambers street
from Centre street little after 10
o'clock this morning. 1t was surround
ed by iostling, eager crowd OF fifty
people and the progress was very
slow. The crowd was augmented by
another crowd that had been in
waiting for hours on the court
house steps. The carriage finally halt
ed at the foot Of the great steps, and
with much labor the aged defendant
alighted. He hung on an arm OF his
son-in-la law, Mr.. Seins, and his faithful
coachman, and Deputy-Sheriff Curran
and Warden Heating took position be-
hind the two as they walked into the
basement door of the monument to an
other who had corrupted the govern
mental waters of the city.
Sharp's movements were painfully
slow. One foot was placed before the
other with great effort, and then but
dragged. In the corridors of the Su-
preme-C Court floor dozen policemen
forced the crowd away from the stair
way leading to the Court of Oyer aud
TeIminer, but the advancing process
sion from the basement door did not
ascend the staircase. The old man
walked aided by his crutches into
the private Office of Sheriff Grant
and the doors were quickly closed
against the crowd that had already
scented the game and rushed down
from the corridor above. A moment
later the wife OF Sharp arrived in an
other carriage, and she, too, was
supported as she walked into the
courthouse by her grandson, George
Sharp, and another young man.
Ten minutes later the door Of
Sheriff Grants office opened, and
the little procession started across
the lobby to the staircase lead
ing to The courtroom, where Sharp
was to be sentenced. Slowly, slowly
Sharp assembled the stairs, he being an
almost lifeless burden upon the arms
of Mr.. Selms and the coachman. The
whole atmosphere was that Of funeral
Captain Billy Ricketts, stood at the
door Of the court chambers at the head
of the stairs and opened the double
portals to admit the little procession,
closing them quickly again after they
had passed.
II was 1870 o'clock when they en-
tered. Sharp was led to seat before
the bar, where he sank down in a state
Of utter collapse and buried his face in
his handkerchief. To the surprise OF
every one. Judge Donohue was sitting
on the bench instead of Judge Bar
rett. The crier declared the court
open, and almost in the same
breath declared that it was al
jcuIaed to tomorrow at y o'clock. 1t
was then learned that Judge Barrett
was III at his home and unable to APP
pear in court to sentence Sharp. The
illness of Judge Barrett has conse-
quently obliged the postponement Of
the sentencing of the convicted bride
giyer. Accompanied by those who had
been with him on his way to court
Sharp was escorted back to the carriage
in waiting outside of the building and
driven back to LudlowStreet jail.

COLUMBIA. s. c., July 13.-A special
TO the Dai}y Rcgistcj' from Sumter, 5.
C., reports the death, in that county
last Saturday, of Colonel William j.
REYNOLDS. in the SEVENTEEN year of his
age. Colonel REYNOLDS, forty-tiye years
ago, Uas one of the most promising
young men in the State, and was noted
for his industry, integrity, and active
interest in military affairs. He fell
deeply in love with beautiful
Young giIl belonging to one OF the
first families in Claremont county and
made suit for her hand. He seemed to
be favorably regarded by the girl her
self, but her parents had more ambl-
tious views for her and would not allow
her TO marry him. Nothing daunted,
the Young man went to work to win
name and position which would rem
der him more acceptable to the pa
rents. He was elected to represent his
county in the State Legislature, served
one term with credit and distinction,
and, returning to his home, made an-
other effort to secure the hand OF the
Girl TO whom he was attached. He was
again refused, but after he had been
elected thi.d time representative
over prominent and wealthy competi-
tors the opposition to him was appa-
rently siienced The young woman
promised to be his wife, and all pre-
partitions were made for the wedding.
At the last moment, however, she wrote
him note saying that she had yielded
to the wishes Of her mother and must
decline to fulfil her engagement.
This broke up Colonel Reynolds
life and career. After brooding
long time over the disappointment,
he took for a wife negro girl who hal
been bis slave, and lived with her to
the last, regardless of public opinion
and of the entreaties of his relations.
He reared a large family OF children
and drew up himself will providing
for them all and putting them on an
equality with his nearest relatives. He
lett an estate consisting of some thou
sands of dollars in money and four
thousand acres of land, and it is
thought the validity of the will will be
sustained.

SAvANNAH, Ga, July 13.-GeorSe
Smith, a young saloon,keeper, whose
place of business is on Bay street, in
this city, was found dead with his
throat cut on the beach at Tybee
island at ) o'clock this morning. The
murdered man was about twenty-three
years OF age, and although something
of sporting character, bore good
reputation for one in his line Of bust
ness. Thomas Cassiday and Barney
Keys, two well-known Savannah men,
have been arrested on suspicion OF
having murdered him, and a woman
named Maggie Terrell has been ar
rested as an accessory. The murdered
man is said to have had considerable
money with him, but none was found
on the body. 1t is therefore suspected
that robbery was the object of the
crime. The coroner left here at p.
NJ. to hold an inquest and bring the
body to the city.
Keys is only held as witness.
